And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
|
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
|
And Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road
|
You may know what I am
|
But who I am you don't know
|
|
She'll run across the mustard dust sand
|
Scream down the wind
|
And the sea is in a cold
|
Like when in holiday homes
|
And houses like sweet confectionary
|
And sandcastles and drinking wine
|
Hungry dinners perfectly timed
|
|
And mother and father glowing young
|
Happy to be each other together
|
When she blows the candle out
|
She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head
|
The day that went way of every day
|
But tomorrow she'll fly a plane
|
Over the fields where the houses aren't built yet
|
|
She smiled sweetly across the room
|
Through the lunchtime smoke
|
And I loved her for a second
|
And discarded the queen and I know
|
How sweetness turns sour
|
And leaves they turn to brown
|
And then to earth and dust
|
And settle in this town
|
You get blown away...
|
|
She smiled sweetly across the lunchtime smoke
|
And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know
|
When men are being little boys again
|
And women cruel stepmothers of old
|
And this is the invention
|
The adventure of my own
|
I get blown away...
|
